Barbara Swihart Miller
Wife, mother, author.
While I have wanted to be an author since the 7th grade, I didn't really begin my journey until I became the leader of a small bible study group leading to my first book, a short devotional called How to Love Your Preschooler. I love to study genealogy as well, and found so many different stories hidden in the folds of time which led to my second book, a historical fiction novel called The Call of Gold. I always have various projects in the works, but at the moment I am working on another devotional as well as another historical fiction based during WWII.

What I Write
Fiction
The Fiction I write is based usually inspired by family history and real events. So far, I have one novel published, The Call of Gold. It is the tale of one man's journey from his home in Ohio to the California Gold Fields and back.
Non-Fiction
I write Christian devotionals for parents. So far I only have one published, How To Love Your Preschooler. This short book is filled with Godly advice and intentionally kept to a manageable amount of time for busy parents.
Genealogy
Genealogy is what started my love of writing. I put am putting together all my decades of research into books for all to use as reference in their own family research. So far, I have one book published, The Descendants of Jacob and Christiana Miller: Volume 1.
